Pictures at an Exhibition / Night on Bald Mountain

Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Georgian SIMI Festival Orchestra & Jahni Mardjani

Pictures at an Exhibition / Night on Bald Mountain is a release pairing two orchestral works by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, originally composed in 1874 and 1867 respectively. Musically, the works sit within the late-Romantic, programme-music tradition, featuring colourful orchestration, dramatic contrasts and folk-inflected themes, and they occupy an important place in Mussorgsky's output and the development of Russian orchestral repertoire.
